Have you always dreamt of opening your own salon, but feared that you lack the right management skills? The UK may be still in the midst of recession recovery, but statistics have shown that the beauty industry is experiencing a boom in the downturn. The industry as a whole is currently worth over £3.7 billion, and with a multitude of treatments now seen as a necessity rather than a luxury amongst consumers, there has never been a better time to launch your own beauty business.
For those who have the passion and knowledge required to break into the beauty arena, but are perhaps less business savvy, a new book could help. Start and Run a Successful Beauty Salon is a guide to cashing in on the nation’s determination to stay pampered and polished as they strive to weather the storm, no matter what the temperamental financial climate throws at them.
The book’s unique step-by-step format walks you through the entire process of establishing a beauty salon, covering specifics such as how to choose a location, qualifications that you and your staff will need, how to select equipment and furniture, business management and the expert authors’ view on the elusive formula for success.
Written by beauty therapist Sally Medcalf (who has 25 years of beauty industry experience under her belt, including 12 years running her own salon and Beauty Therapist and Facialist of the year nominations) and marketing expert Bijan Yousef-Zadeh (a member of Chartered Management Institute and a successful beauty business entrepreneur), Start and Run a Successful Beauty Salon is published by How To Books Ltd and is available at £14.99 in major bookshops and online retailers across the country.
